Pan Mingyue directly went to her bedroom.

She was a student of the political science and law department, where boys and girls were 50-50. Her roommates and she were both in the same cla.s.s. She and another girl weren’t locals, while the other two were.

Pan Mingyue didn’t talk much and was either studying or on the way to study. She was an aloof flower of the high mountain in the political and law system.

Perhaps because of the counselor’s instructions, everyone knew that she was an orphan, so her roommate and students in the same cla.s.s all took good care of her.

The four of them weren’t particularly close. After all, Pan Mingyue spent most of her days in the library or doing her part-time job, and only returned to her room to sleep. However, their relations.h.i.+p was still considered good.

When she returned, her three roommates were all there.

“Mingyue, have you found an interns.h.i.+p?” A long-haired girl looked at her when she returned.

Among Pan Mingyue’s three roommates, one had been successfully admitted to the school’s graduate student, while the other two had successfully found interns.h.i.+ps.

The roommate who just spoke was the one who had successfully pa.s.sed the postgraduate entrance examination, Jiang Yifan. She was a local in Beijing and had the best relations.h.i.+p with Pan Mingyue in the dormitory.

As the graduation season approached, the three were particularly worried about Pan Mingyue.

“Mingyue, why don’t you take the postgraduate entrance examination directly?” The short-haired roommate glanced at her and said regretfully, “The professors in our department like you so much, and you also performed very well in all aspects.”

Jiang Yifan glanced at her and interrupted. “Let’s stop discussing it.”

Pan Mingyue was a talented girl considered the best in the political law department. Everyone, including the professors, thought she would pa.s.s the postgraduate entrance examination.

It wouldn’t be difficult for her to apply for post-graduation, either.

Who knew that not only did she not apply for it, but she didn’t go for the postgraduate entrance examination. When the list came down, everyone’s jaws had dropped.

But upon further thought, it wasn’t too difficult to understand. After all, her family environment probably didn’t allow her to continue to the postgraduate entrance examination.

After Jiang Yifan’s reminder, the s.h.i.+rt-haired roommate also remembered this fact and immediately shut up. Her expression changed, and she stopped mentioning Pan Mingyue’s sore spot.

Although the three roommates were one year younger than Pan Mingyue, they all treated her like their younger sister and took extra care of her usually.

“The counselor just contacted me for an interns.h.i.+p opportunity.” Sitting in front of her computer, Pan Mingyue had been quietly listening to her roommates. Upon hearing this, she raised her head and seemed to smile. “A staff member at the Inspection Inst.i.tute.”

Every year, Beijing University’s political science and law department had an interns.h.i.+p quota for the Inspection Inst.i.tute, which every student knew about.

Upon hearing this, the three roommates weren’t green with envy and were rather worried instead.

“What happened? How come they let you go this year? Didn’t the doctoral supervisors go in the previous years?” Jiang Yifan frowned. “What are the counselors thinking?”

Everyone knew the importance of the Inspection Inst.i.tute in the country. This interns.h.i.+p quota represented beyond that, but also the compet.i.tion between several schools and departments. Among the doctoral supervisors, what was Pan Mingyue going to do as a freshman?

However, Jiang Yifan and the others didn’t discuss much about it in front of her and only started to comfort her one by one.

“It’s okay, Mingyue. It’s just to acc.u.mulate some experience. Relax your mind and wait until you’re fully capable before directly entering.”

“Yes, Mingyue. Worse comes to worst, you can just return and work as a legal counsel at our company.” The short-haired girl patted her chest.

She was another local in their dormitory, whose parents had a little successful business. She was considered a rich second-generation heir, so there was no problem saying this.

Pan Mingyue had already turned on her computer and was drawing something for the counselor.

Upon hearing this, she smiled at them. “Don’t worry.”

Don’t worry?

How could Jiang Yifan not worry? She returned to her seat, anxious and thoughtful.

…

At four pm, Pan Mingyue handed the final promotional poster to the counselor. She checked the time on her watch, took her books, and rode her bicycle to the cafe.

Perhaps she had been close to Qin Ran for too long, but most people who were close to her had the bad habit of arriving on the dot.

The wind chime rang at the entrance of the cafe.

Opening the curtains and coming in, Pan Mingyue saw Madam Feng sitting in the corner of the hall at a glance.

She hadn’t seen her since the last negotiation with her a while ago.

As if hearing the wind chime, Madam Feng looked towards the door and saw Pan Mingyue coming in with her hands tightened around her books.

“Madam Feng.” Pan Mingyue walked in and nodded slightly at her.

After two years, Pan Mingyue had hardly changed. She still wore black-rimmed gla.s.ses and had very fair skin. The only thing that had changed was the tiny bit of aura on her.

Stirring the small spoon in her coffee, Madam Feng waited for her to come over, her hands tightening.

“You should know why I’m looking for you today.” Leaning the spoon against the edge of the cup, Madam Feng pulled a napkin and wiped her elegant hands before continuing, “Feng Ci is back.”

When Pan Mingyue heard this, her eyelashes trembled behind her lens.

Of course, she knew this. She had already seen Feng Ci at the school gates previously. She had avoided him and entered through another door.

Ever since the incident two years ago, she had refused to see Feng Ci.

Since she didn’t want to see him, Qin Ran and Song Luting wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Hence, because of various reasons, Feng Ci hadn’t managed to successfully meet Pan Mingyue in the past two years.

Later, because of business, he had to stay away from Beijing.

He was an entrepreneur, after all, and had to be responsible for his employees. He couldn’t be so headstrong and had to wait to stabilize before finally coming back to Beijing.

In the past two years, he had tried all sorts of methods to find Pan Mingyue, but to no avail.

Pan Mingyue didn’t know about these things.

But at the mention of him again, her heart inevitably trembled.

“It’s very simple. I don’t want you to see him. Our family has sponsored you for so many years, it’s the least you could do to repay us.” Madam Feng glanced at her. After learning about Pan Mingyue from Feng Loucheng, she didn’t have such strong opinions of her anymore.

However, it didn’t mean she stopped disliking her, especially since the other things she had learned later on made it even more compelling to dislike her.

Pan Mingyue pursed her lips and looked up at her. After a long while, she put down the cup in her hands. “Okay.”

She pulled the chair away, stood up, and walked out with her books.

Seeing how sensible she was, Madam Feng sighed in relief and said, “Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?”

With Qin Ran and Xu Yaoguang’s successes in the college entrance examination, Pan Mingyue wasn’t of much interest.

“Interns.h.i.+p,” Pan Mingyue said lightly.

Madam Feng didn’t ask further.

Most of the students of Beijing University would go for the exam if they could, and only those who didn’t have outstanding results would do interns.h.i.+ps.

Madam Feng paid no attention after hearing it.

Without Pan Mingyue, not only would Feng Ci be less tainted, but he could also marry a wife useful to his career. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Outside.

There was almost no blinding sunlight above, but Pan Mingyue still felt her vision blur.

She walked back to the library again, went into the bathroom, found a cubicle, and numbly took out a bottle of white unmarked medicine from the pocket of her coat. She poured out two pills and then swallowed them without water.

…

In the evening, at the Jiang family’s house.

“No, my department works directly with the outside world, I can’t recruit interns at will.” Father Jiang directly interrupted Jiang Yifan. “The Lu family is working on a case with us nowadays, I can’t do it half-heartedly.”

“I know, but Dad, your department hasn’t hired a new worker for a long time, right? Mingyue definitely won’t cause you trouble.” Jiang Yifan clasped her hands together and pleaded. “I’m worried about her in another department.”

Father Jiang really wanted her to get lost.

But this was his most doted daughter, and he could only suppress the urge to hit someone.

His subordinate whispered his advice to him, “Minister Jiang, don’t be angry. This is your own daughter, your birth daughter. If you hit her, you’ll be over!”

Upon hearing this, Minister Jiang forced out a smile. “Fine, I promise you to let her come to my department.”

Jiang Yifan, who had been planning to fight the war for a long time, raised her head in surprise and said excitedly, “Dad, you’re so awesome! I believe you’ll never regret it. Mingyue will let you admire her, and she’ll increase your performance by half!”

Father Jiang was speechless.

What kind of silly girl had he raised?

He glanced at the information that the subordinate had just submitted to him and suddenly felt irritated. The person Jiang Yifan asked him to accept was neither a graduate student nor a doctoral student, but a fresh graduate…

Let alone rise by half, he would be thankful if she didn’t make trouble for him…

Did his good daughter think he was living a good life?!
